Well, what’s not obvious to the GOPe is that if conservatives leave in droves there is no Republican Party left; certainly not one powerful enough to win on the national stage ever again.

I should replace that “if” with a “when” because it’s obvious conservatives won’t remain in a party openly hostile to them.

What have those “wins” accomplished in recent memory? The Republican Party only wants our money and our votes, but not our principles and convictions. It is a soulless party devoid of any core beliefs and is easily manipulated by the Democrats and their allies in the media.

We would be much better off with a new party in my opinion. One that actually represents conservatives and makes a serious effort to achieve an agenda.

Nice to know Boner has some fight in him. Now, if he’d just direct it at Democrats.

Well before we all get too excited they are planning to replace Tammy Faye with Kevin McCarthy. Not much of an improvement but better than nothing I guess.

I will believe it when I see it. It’s time for conservatives to walk the walk, enough with the talk. Even if they make Pelosi have to save Boner’s sorry arse and show the world and those “conservatives” who still believe the Party BS who they are now beholding too for their speaker to retain power.

You’re so right. We need a political apparatus that is willing to stand up for and fight for the Constitution, the rule of law, and conservative principles which have guided and enabled our country’s greatness. That sure as hell isn’t the Republican Party. The fact is the GOP has been fighting conservatives going back to Teddy Roosevelt’s time, so this hatred for those of us who share that ideology is long lasting.
